    What My Clients Say

    Stephanie McDilda

    Transformation Leader, Founder of Meliorism Magic & Heart Based Leadership Programs

    “Our time together was just magic…

    I was so blessed to work with Deidre on my own Personal VIP Day. It was truly a transformative experience. She helped me see that I’m already stepping into the person I want to become.
    Deidre combines tough love with genuine support. She’s not afraid to confront what’s holding you back, but she does it with such compassion that you feel supported every step of the way.
    I realized that I’ve never given myself enough credit for what I’ve accomplished, which greatly diminished my self-confidence. Deidre showed me the importance of validating my own progress. Creating my validation list was a game-changer. It made me realize how much I’ve already achieved, and it helped move me forward. During the VIP Day, Deidre didn’t just help me dream bigger – she gave me a practical action plan that I could implement right away. I’m already seeing results from the changes I’ve made.
    My VIP Day with Deidre was deeply meaningful and exactly what I needed. I walked away with clarity, confidence, and a clear sense of how to move forward with my goals.”

    “Deidre is one of the most honest and ethical people I have ever met. She is not afraid to step off the line and tell you her refreshing point of view. While she does this with a contagious smile and with intention for your personal growth, not everyone can pick up the gauntlet…”

    “Deidre is the Go-To-Person! Why?

Her ability to build you the confidence you need to step up and show up, equips you with a plan of action that eliminates all that overwhelm of figuring it out on your own and provides you with a pathway to finally turn visitors into customers is priceless.

She uses life experiences mixed with enthusiasm and a little bit of humor to connect with her audience. Not only does she speak about life challenges, but she leaves the audience with the tools to make positive life changes. Her presentation was wonderful and gave our staff what was very much needed. Deidre is definitely someone we would welcome back to our college.

    I have invited Deidre to speak at two events, and she was an excellent speaker. One event was for a large group of health care professionals, and Deidre was dynamic and interesting to listen to. I really enjoyed her examples, and she did such an excellent job, I invited her to speak to a smaller group of our family members who were considering a career change. She truly catered to the audience and provided some useful strategies for the audience members’ situations. It is a pleasure to know Deidre, and she is an excellent resource.
